MONTGOMERY — Light snow fell in parts of central Alabama and officials say up to 1 inch of snow is possible as a storm system moves across the state.

The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for 27 counties until noon Tuesday. That advisory includes Anniston, Birmingham, Gadsden, Talladega, Tuscaloosa and Selma. Forecasters canceled a winter storm warning that had been posted earlier.

Gov. Kay Ivey issued a state of emergency Monday because of the storm bringing some snow and hazardous driving conditions to a large part of the state. The governor's office urged motorists to use extreme caution.
